‘22 TN C Handje Tamba

It wasn’t bragging about stats. It was showing the board mod that he’s a competent ball handler for a near 7 footer.

Uh huh. Yeah. You’re gonna have to forgive me that I’m not buying that assertion because of three assists against the #314 team in the country.

I like Pember and he’s a great kid, but this is unfortunately true. Kid wants to play the perimeter but can’t guard anyone.

His best interest , and UT's, is to transfer

TGO would have called Yemi Makanjoula the next Shaq when he put up 18/9 against Citadel his freshmen year lol

Not agreeing with the nega-douche posts to run off players is sunshine pumping?

Touting a kid's assists/min ratio when 75% of his assists came against TN Tech and he has played a total of 27 minutes and then suggesting that shows he can handle the ball is sunshine pumping.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Sure if they are good.

I’m not even suggesting running off Pember. Not all 13 scholarship guys are gonna play. What is being argued is his talent, which you’re arguing for and we are arguing against.

He was one of the best players, if not the best, on a state champion team.

The original post that I replied to was about running off Anosike, Pember, and Plavsic.

And that has translated absolutely zero in the SEC

 

[zjcvols]

Honest question how many guys who have played 2.5% of minutes available in their sophomore year ended up being good at UT?

He was never expected to be a freshman phenomenon. He’s always been a take as a project.

With 3 or 4 NBA draft picks also on the roster?

Who cares about East TN basketball? I went to Farragut and Bearden is a good East TN basketball team but rarely does that translate to Division 1 success for their players. The talent in this state is on average not good. You have a few elite Memphis players every now and then but that’s it. Winning a state title here is meaningless.

I didn’t realize that East Tennessee is a state. When did that happen?

Sure and if he was getting ORN minutes I could see your point but he can’t. I’m sure Barnes wishes he could find an 8th to give a spark.

My god you purposely act obtuse. I didn’t refer to East TN as a state. I referenced Memphis in my post as well. You are beyond help if you think high school basketball in Tennessee is anything but mediocre. Just because a James Wisemen occasionally moves to Memphis for a year doesn’t mean our basketball is good.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

We really haven’t seen Pember play enough minutes to decide whether or not he could become a great player.

I don’t doubt his basketball skills are there but physically, he’s not able to handle bigger and stronger post players.

He seems to be a decent shooter with good passing skills. Just needs to get stronger.

Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns in one game in high school....what's your point?

A) Yes I have

B) He doesn’t play for a reason, because he isn’t good, let alone great

He’s a project.

Sometimes it takes certain players longer to develop.

I’m not saying he’s a great player but we can’t completely write him off yet.

Jalen is contributing at Wake this year.

I’d love to have Jabari’s rebounding on this TN team. Pops could probably help out in the paint as well. Boomer would keep shot clock repairmen employed.

Most of them have something in common....

 

[The Dog]

Quez Glover carried that Bearden team to a state championship, Pember was hurt half the year. Yeah, Pember played well in the playoffs but that was Quez's team

 

[The Dog]

I still think Pember has game, I don't know if it's SEC level game, but at the right place, he will produce. Hopefully, that's UT, eventually

You probably missed it. Many did. 1784-1790. State of Franklin. Never admitted to the U.S., but in E.T., things like that aren’t what defines us. It’s the good faith effort.

I’m aware of it. Bearden ain’t part of Franklin.
